释义

Definition of Snell's law in English:

Snell's law

noun snɛlzˈsnelz ˌlô
Physics
  • A law stating that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction of a wave are constant when it passes between two given media.

    〔物理〕斯涅耳定律

    Example sentencesExamples
    • One might imagine that an experimental determination of Snell's law would be a simple matter.
    • Fermat proposed that light follows the path which takes the shortest time, enabling Snell's law of refraction to be deduced mathematically.
    • In bi-directional transmission distribution functions it is also necessary to include refraction, which is described by Snell's law.
    • The largest angle allowed in the photoresist film is inversely related to its refractive index, as calculated using Snell's law and assuming a 90° half angle in air.
    • This was developed with ray diagrams and key formulae such as Snell's law and the lens equation.

Origin

Late 19th century: named after Willebrord van Roijen Snell (1591–1626), Dutch mathematician.
